Mrs. Charles Powers, of 120 Riverside drive north, is believed to have struck a niche in the ice in a field off Simcoe street north near the city limits. She had been skating with her children, Russell, 4, and Terri, 6, and three sisters. Mr, Powers, a production control worker at General Motors of Canada Limited, said today he believes his wife suffered a double frac- ture above the ankle which will require an operation and insertion of a_ steel plate. The accident occurred at the rear of Mrs. Powers' mother's home, Mrs. James Ferguson. Mr. Powers was in the house watching a hockey game on_ televi- sion at the time. Oshawa's Red Cross blood bank saves lives. Jack Flath, 56, of 31 Westmoreland avenue knows because it saved his. About two years ago he went home from work feeling nau- seated. His wife called the doc- tor about 2 a.m. when he began to vomit straight blood. Mr. Flath haemorrhaged for four days while in hospital and received 17 pints of blood. Later it was discovered. his gall bladder was perforating the duodenal tract and the gall blad- der was removed. He had a minor recurrence of the illness last year which re- quired a further 1%-pint trans- fusion. Mr. Flath said in an interview today that if it hadn't been for blood donations he believes he would not have pulled through. "I feel I was repaid for the 40 pints of blood I donated dur- ing the Second World War," he said. "I would give blood today if the doctors would let me." Back in the 1930's, Mr. Flath saved his father's life with a person to person transfusion. His father suffered a bleeding ulcer. This type of transfusion is outdated today with Canadian Red Cross Blood Saved Man's Life JACK FLATH «+. received 17 pints Red Cross blood banks taking its place. Mr. Filath doesn't know whether he will ever suffer an- other similar attack but he is glad to know there are people who donate their blood to build up the Red Cross bank. BLACK FLAG FOR DEATH Jaycees Oshawa Junior Chamber of Commerce today started its traffic safety campaign for the year. In the next four months the Jaycees will attempt to make the people of this city aware of the tragic consequences of care- less driving. Posters and banners will be distributed throughout the city city urging "'Stay Alive in 65." A wrecked car placed in a strategic location will inform residents of the number of traffic accidents which occur in this four-month period. Should a fatality occur, a black flag will be flown on Jaycees' cars. Blaine Tyndall, chairman of the Jaycees' traffic safety com- mittee, said the only way to Kick Off Safety Campaign make people realize what can happen as a result of careless driving habits is to shock them with the facts. "Safety Sam," an owl, has been adopted as the symbol of the campaign. The Jaycees hope that every time a driver sees the owl he will drive as though "Sam" was on his shoulder. CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dent of Oshawa and dis- trict who is celebrating his birthday today: Workers Possible strike action at the Oshawa General Hospital was averted Sunday when some 375 non-medical employees accept- ed a new three-year contract. Some 80 per cent of the mem- bers of Local 45, Canadian Union of Public Employees, voted in favor of the proposals at two meetings held at the UAW Bond street east hall. Murray Gray, CUPE field re- preentative, said today that the workers will each receive a minimum monthly increase of $31.20 during the remaining two years of the agreement. The OGH employees will also be given $100 each as settlement pay. The last contract expired May 5 last year. The new agreement runs until May 5, 1967. Mr. Gray said that the total cost of the wage increases would be $3,092,780. He stated that the new proposals were an improvement on those in a ma- jority conciliation board report submitted early last month by Judge H. C. Arrell and D. E. Houck, OGH nominee. "If we had accepted the ma- jority report then the total wage increase would have been $2,983,612 over the life of the contract, by hanging on we gained an extra $109,168,"" Mr. Gray added. "As of Jan. 27 this year all HOSPITAL STRIKE THREAT AVERTED TOOK CHILDREN SKATING, MOTHER FRACTURES LEG Approve New 3-Year Deal cents hourly wage increase," Mr. Gray stated. "'Next year at the same time a further 9.75 cents raise will be given. "We have also established a two cents hourly per employee fund for those workers whose wages fall below those paid in other hospitals, for the same classification," he said. "We fall short of the propos- als made by Clifford Pilkey in his minority conciliation board report," said Mr. Gray, 'but under the circumstances the membership thoyght it best to accept the new proposals. "We wanted a two-year con- tract but as darn near a year has gone by we secapaih a three-year agreement." E. M. Storie, OGH board chairman, said today that he was very pleased that the is- sues have been settled. William Holland, OGH admini- strator, would not comment on the action of Local 45 members until the hospital board has ratified the negotiating commit- tee's proposals. Local 45 has worker-members in housekeeping, kitchen staff, laundry and maintenance work- ers, and nursing aides. The union bargaining commit- tee was empoowered to set a strike date by the membership early last month if no other means to settle the dispute were employees will be given a 9.75 found. For Catholic Separate school supporters in the city may have two addi- tional votes at the next civic election. A majority of Oshawa Separ- ate School Board members, in a Times survey, said they favored having the board's two repre- sentatives to the Oshawa Board of Education elected by all sep- arate school supporters. At present, the board appoints both representatives. Seven trustees favored the election method; one said the idea was worth consideration; one was opposed; and one trus- tee had no comment. But before the election could take place, the Ontario legisla- ture would first have to approve the change, said Frank Shine, board business administrator. He said the Oshawa board, if it approved the election 'me- thod, would send a resolution to the Ontario Separate School Trustee's Association. If the As- sociation backed the resolution it would approach the govern- ment for new legislation. William O'Neill, board chair- man, said he favored the elec- tion of two representatives by all separate school supporters. He said the method of appoint- ing two representatives should be improved and having them elected might be the answer. Mr. O'Neill said the board will probably discuss the matter at) a meeting in the near future. Dr. George Sciuk was the only trustee to oppose the elec- Laverne Devitt, 24 Ritson tion method. He said the board should be in control of the two Two Additional Votes Supporters ? representatives. "Good, qualified people might serve if we asked them," said Dr. Sciuk, "but many of these people would not seek election. I feel we can get the best re- presentatives by asking people to. serve, although we ma not have done this in the past." . "The idea has some merit and is worth considering," said trus- tee Frank Baron. 'T'm totally in favor," said trustee Ivan Wallace. "I hope the board will disucss the mat- ter soon and send a resolution to the Trustee's Association." "It seems like a good idea but because the two representatives can only vote on secondary school matters there might be some difficulty in gett peo- ple to seek election," said trus- tee Terry O'Connor. Trustee Michael Rudka fa- vored the election method. He said the representative could then say and do what he thinks best without having to answer to any other board. "T'm all for elections," said trustee Mrs. Winona Clarke. "It may be a good plan... I feel the Catholic ratepayers in the city deserve representation on the Board of Education," said Trustee Ernest Marks. Trustee Anthony Meringer said instead of the 10-member school board appointing two representatives by a board vote it would be. better to have all separate school supporters elect both representatives. Trustee Jack Lawrence said he had no comment to make. PAY FOR SCHOOL TRUSTEES? Separate school board trus- The Times Polls Separate Baron and Jack Lawrence said Board Members cided on how much it should tees this year could each pock- et $720 in honorariums, But, a Times survey shows only five trustees favor taking advantage of provincial legisla- tion which would permit Osh- awa trustees up to $60 per month. : Two trustees are opposed; one is undecided; and two had no comment. Frank Shine, board business administrator, said the maxi- mum amount of the honorarium is based on the average daily attendance of pupils in the school system. William O'Neill, board chair- man, say: honorariums will be discussed either at Thursday's board meeting, if time permits, or the following meeting. Mr. O'Neill is one of the five trustees in favor of honorar- iums. Others are trustees Ivan Wallace, Mrs. Winona Clarke, ferry O'Connor and Anthony Meringer: Trustees Michael Rudka and Dr. George Sciuk are opposed. DR. GEORGE SCIUK " ... shouldn't have to worry about money" Trustees Ernest Marks said he had not made a fina! decision as to how he would vote on, the question and turstees. Frank they were not prepared to com- ment without giving the mat- ter further study. "Basically I feel this type of work is not done for money," said Dr. Sciuk. "People quali- fied to serve should not have to worry about losing money in their own business and by pay- ing an honorarium we might attract people who are more interested in the money than in the work." Mr. Rudka said he did not think an honorarium would add anything to the calibre of trustee or improve their work on the board. "With respect to the present trustees, I once heard a prom- inent speaker say that very often public jobs go to the peo- ple who can afford them," said Mr. O'Neill, "For this reason, without having heard any of the arguments against honorariums, I'm in favor of them as they might encourage others to seek election." The board chairman said $60 ANTHONY MERINGER "an honorarium would be stimulating" would meet all expenses curred by trustees. Mr. Wallace said he favored an honorarium but was unde- in- be. He also said he would favor a $10 penalty deduction for each meeting missed by a trustee. "Trustees spend a great deal of time and work serving on the board and it does cost trustees money to be board members," said Mrs. Clarke. "Anyone real- ly interested in education will run for office with or without a salary.' Mrs, Clarke said she was not certain what honorar- ium amount should be set. "I'm in favor entirely," said Mr, O'Connor. "An honorarium would make for broader repre- sentation from the community as some people.who work shifts might lose $20 to $25 if they take a night off work to attend a meeting." Mr. Meringer said an honor- arium 'would be a "stimulant" to get more people to seek elec- tion. He. said it would help de- fray expenses and would be beneficial, especially for those who work shifts and could lose a day's salary by missing work to attend a meeting.
